Cirkvena

Cirkvena is a rural settlement located in Sveti Ivan Žabno municipality within the Koprivnica-Križevci County area. The village spreads across gently rolling terrain with scattered homes and farms typical of the region's countryside character.

The settlement developed in the late 19th century during the period of Austro-Hungarian rule in this part of Croatia. It took shape as a farming community within the broader administrative and territorial system of that era.

The settlement reflects strong agricultural traditions passed down through generations by families with deep roots in the region. This connection to farming remains woven into the daily rhythms and identity of those who live here.

The settlement connects to nearby villages through country roads and is most easily reached by car. Visiting works best during daylight hours, and like typical rural areas, services are limited in the immediate surroundings.

The village is notable for its long-established family networks that have remained relatively stable for generations. This tight-knit community structure offers insight into how rural societies maintain continuity over time.
